"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

What role do YOU play nowadays for women ? Provider, protector, performer or puppet?

Forget about love. You are either a provider, protector, performer or a puppet.

On a deeper level especially the performer and puppet are " new" in his space but yet those roles are as old as the sun and earth themselves.

I believe women look for men to fulfill one or more of those roles. Are you aware of your role, do you play accordingly and does it lead to "success" for you?

Let's discuss
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

I full agree that women often keep different men around for different roles.

I’m mostly a friend or brother to women these days. Puppet is maybe the closest one. I’m a very good listener and capable of conversing with them on almost any topic.

Women’s laughter is often tied to attraction. So while my guy friends love my humor, those same jokes don’t land as often with my female friends. So I ruled out performer/entertainer.

That is giant horse crap.



I am good at that as well. I don't do that unless she's letting me slam her pussie.
Why is it horse crap if HE knows that's his " function"? Especially if it DOES work for him?

Or do you mean that being a friend/ brother isn't the best position to take? (The latter makes sense by the way)
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

And what do you think about the puppet and performer roles? Imo those are rarely talked about in these spaces.

I don't play any role. I am who I am, they can either choose to be with me or choose not to and I don't care either way.

I know where I want to go, if they want to come along for the ride they can as long as they don't become a hinderance to me.

If they are supportive that's even better...

My current girlfriend has been ride or die since Day one almost and it's extremely hard to find that these days.

Yeah it’s my current situation. It’s not ideal, but it works at the moment. I don’t mind being friends with women, and I don’t hit on the ones that I know see me that way. The introvert in me enjoys one on one conversations.

Breaking the long dry spell with somebody new (ie with a clean slate) outside that circle is the challenge right now lol.

I totally understand SW’s point though.

Anyway, I don’t SEEK to play a role. Just being honest about my current perceived role.

Anything less than a lover and a woman is using the man.

Next time you are with a woman, ask yourself “Would. a King be like this with her?” If not, change your behavior.

Mostly protector and to some extent provider, as husband and father.

Is performer a sexual performer?
That's a good one and I actually do think you are right.

I geuss the performer is the artist, the rockstar, in he eyes, the type of man who "gets her to do things outside of her box".

The puppet might be the safety blanket, the friend who is there for her . Obviously all forms contain some form of mutual attraction.

Hmmm. In this context my husband would be a performer and protector.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Oke let's evaluate the results.

Nobody is a performer and ESPECIALLY zero puppets. Surprise Surprise. No man will admit he is a puppet while arguably most of us been a puppet most of the time..yes indeed : rather an image of who SHE want you to be , and the power of p00sy actually made you do exactly what SHE wanted you to do like a good little puppet.

Ofcourse you can be a combination of certain things, but tbh most men are viewed as puppets and performers. You only become a provider and protector after you are heavily invested. The irony is that we as men gotta " earn " to provide and protect...we gotta " earn the privilege " of being willing to risk our physical financial and mental health to be with Miss little princess..

I geuss that 85% of the women I dated viewed me as a puppet / performer; I played a role that she wanted me to play at that point in her life, and when she needed something else or grew out of it she was poof gone. And while she was around me I kept feeling the disconnect from the fact that she actually has no idea who I REALLY am, and she also doesn't care. Simultaneously I might not given a F because I just wanted to feck.

The typical married man in the United States is a provider. He's a beta male whose primary utility to his woman is additional revenue into the household. In a lot of cases, the married woman is also working a job.

A married man might not have started out as a provider. There's a process that happens in long-term relationships called "beta-ization". Men often become more and more beta as time passes in relationships. This is a part of the idea that I'm most known for promoting on SoSuave, which is the idea that relationships enter a decay phase around the 3-5 year point in time. It's possible that a married man initially attracted a woman on the basis of being either a protector or performer.

Beta males fall into the provider and puppet roles most commonly.

I desire to be a sexual performer. I want to be around for my sex appeal. In this framework, I position myself to women as a performer.

Mmmmhhhhh......Now that you mention it, my woman actually calls me "Your Majesty" with a very specific tone of voice from time to time. Specifically when Im doing whatever the f0ck I want (which is possibly quite often). Might be some sort of test? I just laugh it off; Agree & Amplify. I keep getting laid whenever I want so Im assuming Im passing all sorts of tests. Im interested in @BeExcellent ´s perspective on this "Your Majesty" thing.

Forget about love. You are either a provider, protector, performer or a puppet.
Im the provider and protector (and some sort of King, apparently). Women should the be the performer/puppet to keep things balanced.
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.
